| description | This essay explores the development of an art project with the island as its central theme. The process is explained through a selection of background material and other considerations that have led to the work. As a starting point for this project, the author worked on the island of Ameland, The Netherlands, where she was born and raised. To experience the island from an outsider’s point of view, she also stayed for a period of time on Grímsey, North Iceland. The work that resulted from this period of experiencing and gathering information around islands, Iland / Us, consists of two sculptures that deal with borders, protection, self and community. Among selected fragments are texts from literature and science, photos and sketches, underpinned by personal experience. |
